This will be the last photo I’ll share before he’s finished 😁

I've been sitting with the news that Scholastic is self-censoring their Book Fairs since Tuesday. On Thursday I was invited to speak at a Scholastic Graphix party, and this is what I said. It's an earnest plea for the company with whom I have made so many books to do better.

what if I told you that it's also bad for the economy when people make so little money that they can't afford to buy anything

After a summer in which virtually every franchise and comic-book film under-performed at the box office, I think the age of the murder mystery is upon us. I want glamorous whodunits with all-star casts. I want to see old ladies solving crimes

Just sent off my first magazine submission in years! Mostly because the super-nice editor I used to work with is back. Now I have to wait...
Does anyone know of a good resource for information on working with a publisher who wants to make kits with my designs? I want to make sure the info is accurate and reliable, to have a better idea of what to look for in the contract.
Thanks 😊 #KnittingDesign #freelance
living my best cottage-core life today 🌹🌱🫐🫙🌾💃 I'm wearing a skirt I made yesterday (floral knee-length with buttons & waist sash), I took photos of my roses, and then I made jam from the rhubarb in my garden.
